• 3:40 (Descended 1700 ft in 25 min) from Dresdener Hutte to Muttenberg Alm (parking lot at base of lifts). Descended with German rock climber who spoke a little English. He led --- combining scrambling, boulder hopping and running. It felt so good to be running and he was somewhat surprised he couldn't shake me. At the bottom he held the gate for me and just smiled. He's 57 and really fit. He gave me a ride back down the mountain to my car above Ranalt.

7 hrs, 13 miles 10,500 ft +/- (over 3000m)
